I am so sorry that this time has been so emotionally painful for you and your husband. You may want to check out the site: http://www.hystersisters.com
It is incredibly helpful and supportive for women, men, and other loved ones to refer to! I've been a member there for a couple of years myself, had pushed off a hysterectomy for many years, and finally had it in October last year.

Lots of emotions are tied up in that entire experience for me, and I'd imagine that the same is true for you too. Hopefully, you're still in the beginning stages of acceptance after your hysterectomy. It is very normal and expected to go through the range of emotions: denial, hurt, anger, guilt, and acceptance.

If you go to the site, you can tell them mommy2kyra referred you

Gentle hugs to you ~ and to Psych Central!
